The ZeroGen project aims to create smarter, cleaner power and demonstrate the viability of integrating coal-based gasification and CCS to reduce emissions. ZeroGen has the potential to reduce emissions by up to 90%.

As part of ZeroGen Phase One WorleyParsons’ scope included technology assessment and FEED. This involved process configuration, definition of major system components, heat and mass balance development, plant performance and emissions profiles, and characterization for CO2 capture and processing for geosequestration. The project has changed its configuration and secured support from Mitsubishi Corporation and Mitsubish Heavy Industries. The reconfigured ZeroGen Phase Two will be a 530 MW (gross) coal fired power plant with CCS. Operations are planned for 2015.
